Honestly, I didn’t care for it on 3DS. The game itself wonderful (of course), but man, it’s janky on 3DS. Textures are really bad and just overall not pleasant to look at. I didn’t care for the 3D either, it just wasn’t designed with that in mind during the Wii days. I’m not saying the game was bad, the art direction is wonderful, but this game needed a sprucing up more than being downgraded to fit the 3DS. I still kept it, but more for the sake of collection purposes.
This is the way to play it. I’ve been begging for an HD conversion and it’s finally here. I cannot wait. This HD version looks incredible.
Nintendo will be just fine. Whenever he leaves will be a sad day, but Nintendo has tons of creative people under its wings. Splatoon was spearheaded by a new creative team and it turned into a mega hit, even on the Wii U of all places. I selfishly would like to at least get Pikmin 4 before he leaves, haha.
He deserves to have some time to himself, retire and enjoy the rest of his life. What a legacy he has.
I think you’re right, if couch co-op is your jam, 3D World is one of the best games of all time for that. Odyssey was a better single player experience. Both are great though.
I figured you guys didn’t, and it was organized by another party. I just wanted to make you aware that some of the questions were very odd, and a bit invasive even for something that’s anonymous. I opted not to answer them.
They should remake it. 2 and 3 had such care put into them, why not continue with one of the best games ever made? It’s a wonderful game, but it could certainly use some sprucing up. You can always port the old one just as some game preservation, but I don’t see anything wrong with remaking it, so long as they continue that great love and care seen in the previous two games.
“ the mass online community applying pressure on players to rise up to the quality of others villages”
Sure, I’ve seen random people post on Twitter, showing off a bit of pride — but pressure?? What?? Like online Animal Crossing bullies?? Lmao. If those people really exist, block em / ignore them.
Play at your own pace, on your own time, and let it become your own creation. That’s the way you play — forget everyone else. Never forget, no matter what game it is, some people have wayyyyy too much free time. If you have a life (like most people) don’t feel bad if your village doesn’t have the same finesse as someone else.
Agreed about crafting though, but only for tools. To counter that, I have DIY stumps at a few key spots on my island. I like crafting everything else.
If you’re just not enjoying it, then don’t feel bad or waste your time with it. Life is too short, play something you enjoy.
Smart to drop this out of nowhere, we all tend to shoot for the moon with expectations, and lots of people get disappointed that way. People would have been disappointed if this particular direct was announced beforehand.
For what it was, it was good. It didn’t have any showstoppers, but what was there was solid. Xenoblade’s Epilogue was a nice surprise. Borderlands, Bioshock and Xcom are great additions to have.
Not a bad display for something that came out of nowhere. Xenoblade looks lovely. Borderlands and bio shock are great (though largely predicted). Arms in smash is a great choice.
Overall, not bad, not anything that’s going to smash headlines, but for now it’ll do.
Animal Crossing amiibo festival had the most disastrous trailer I’ve ever seen Nintendo do. We were starved for a new Animal Crossing in the Wii U days. The trailer started, everyone around me got immensely excited... until we saw the tiles and dice and we all shouted, WHAT...WHY?!
That was when I knew the Wii U was officially dead.
I’m not like others on here saying Nintendo has nothing to show this year just cause it’s March, however, once Animal Crossing drops next week, we have absolutely no idea what’s next for the Switch. It’s in Nintendo’s best interest to release some info very, very soon.
If Xenoblade is indeed coming in May, or close to it, they need to let people know sooner, rather than later.
I’ve had 4 issues with drifting. Unbelievably, some users on here still think we drop kick our switches down the steps every morning when we get out of bed.
“Take better care of your stuff” they say.
I’ve had Nintendo products my entire life, and I’ve never encountered so many issues than with these joy-cons. Drift is a huge problem, and I still can’t believe Nintendo hasn’t figured out a solution yet. Sure they’ll fix them for free in the US, but wouldn’t it just be easier to solve the problem, than to just keep fixing and replacing joy-cons?? Extremely disappointing coming from joy-cons that cost $80.
I just had to send in another joy-con to Nintendo (this is now the 4th issue I’ve had with drift). Nintendo of America will fix or replace your joy-con for free. I think it’s worth sending it in.
This will officially kill E3 for good, I think. We all know E3 wasn’t in great shape to begin with, but companies will now just announce things themselves.
I think $40 is a fair price for Mario Party. The series may not be as good as the early days, but it’s much improved over Mario Party 10. Still a good time with friends.
I love my Switch. Love the games, love playing handheld, then going to the tv when I want. It’s still remarkable to me how easy that process is. They took the best concept from Wii U, “off tv play” and based the Switch on that idea.
It could use some improvement though. Joy-con drift is still a problem for many users. 3 years in, it should be fixed by now, one would think. Cracking back plates is also another issue for some users. Great system that is unfortunately marred by some unexpected physical problems that we usually don’t get from Nintendo. There is also no way to back up your saves, except for the cloud, but even then not all games are covered — that’s simply madness. I hope these things get resolved for the updated Switch when it comes.
But all that said, considering where we came from on the Wii U, what a remarkable step forward from Nintendo.
I figured as much since the delivery date was April of this year. I just didn’t know if it was going towards publishing costs or not. Sounds like it isn’t. No big deal, I’d prefer they be honest.
